Salt
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If
hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on
the dishes and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses
a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals
from the water.
Loading the Salt into the Softener
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located
beneath the lower rack and
should be filled as follows:
1. Remove the lower rack
and then unscrew and
remove the cap from the salt
container;
2. If you are filling the
container for the first time, fill
it with water;
3. Place the end of the funnel
(supplied) into the hole and introduce about 2 kg of salt. It
is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the
salt container.
4. Carefully screw the cap back on.
The salt container should be filled after about every
30 wash cycles.
Warning: To prevent rust from forming, we advise you
to load the salt before starting a wash cycle.
Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount
of salt consumed based on the harness of the water used.
This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt
consumption so that it remains at
a minimum.
Your Local Water Board can supply
the degree of hardness of the
water
in your area.
To adjust salt consumption, pro-
ceed as follows:
1) Unscrew the cap from the salt
container.
2) There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see
figure to the side), if necessary, rotate the ring in the anti-
clockwise direction from the "_" setting towards the "+"
sign, based on the hardness of the water being used.
It is recommended that adjustments be made in accord-
ance with the following schema:
